Sound like a robust tool. Still in the throws of installing... When given a choice about installing a boot manager. The advice for `dos-pc' users is to select `NONE'. I will have 3 OSs on two disks when everything is set. disk 1 dos/win disk 2 Redhat-linux/FreeBSD-2.2.7 The win95 and Redhat linux are in operation now. I'd like to boot with lilo but only because I already know how to use it. Can I just put a stanza about FreeBSD in there, pointing to the kernal address etc for FreeBSD? If so, where does FreeBSD keep the kernal? I haven't got to look at my newly installed file system yet... Alternately: If `Easy Boot' can be made to handle all three OSs then what do I need to choose when doing the install? Haven't read every thing I probably should have, but did not see an explanation about this in the INSTALL.txt. Likewise, during the install, pressing F1 at that section doesn't give much info about which choice to make other than `NONE' -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com Running Redhat Linux-5.1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
